On January 3rd, Leader N tweeted "I don’t want to be an idol….." & "I have to worry about cameras, managers;;; I can’t even date… It has to turn out well.. Ahㅜ I’m tired…" leaving fans confused and caused some fans to wonder if his tweets were just for marketing for the reality show, 'The Romantic & Idol' which he is currently cast in as one of the members. On January 6th, VIXX pre-releases their 3rd single 'Don’t want to be an Idol' which caused fans to understand Leader N's tweets that he posted earlier that week.
